Drug resistant epilepsy is a disorder involving widespread brain network alterations. Recently, many groups have reported neuroimaging and electrophysiology network analysis techniques to aid medical management, support presurgical planning, and understand postsurgical seizure persistence. While these approaches may supplement standard tests to improve care, they are not yet used clinically or influencing medical or surgical decisions. When will this change? Which approaches have shown the most promise? What are the barriers to translating them into clinical use? How do we facilitate this transition? In this review, we will discuss progress, barriers, and next steps regarding the integration of brain network analysis into the medical and presurgical pipeline.
